Why Are La Salle Schools Different?

Why Are La Salle Schools Different?

1. We are Schools of Quality. Why? Because We Treasure Our Legacy. We Cherish Our Lasallian Tradition. We Uphold Our Virtues Of Discipline and Respect While Maintaining A High Academic Standard.

2. A School Which is Imbued with the Lasallian/Michaelian/Georgian/Anthonian spirit.

3. Have respect for each student as a unique person.
4. We are Committed to the Poor. We pay attention to the poor, the neglected and the overlooked. We teachers give greater attention to the marginalised and to the less appealing students. All Lasallian schools have programs that address the educational needs of the last, the lost and the least.

5. Educators and administrators are men and women of faith and zeal.

6. We Have Teachers Who Are United and share a common vision and a shared mission. Teachers come together as brothers and sisters associated with bonds of mutual respect, cooperation, generosity, patience, humor, and humility.

7. We are not autonomous schools but operate in collaboration with others: The Brothers, PIBG, Alumni, Board of Governors, parents and the community.

8. We are schools which organize around the story of John Baptist De La Salle.

Note:
1. Put this up at a prominent corner in school so that students and teachers are able to read and practise.

2. Do highlight these points whenever possible during the weekly assembly.

3. Do organise programs to get students to participate via societies, clubs and classes.

4. Share this with teachers, alumni or parents during PIBG meetings, Board meetings or staff meetings so that they know the direction of the school.
